Short highlight of running projects

  • Characterization of the supportive role of the molecule MIA in melanoma
  • Establishment of MIA protein as a therapeutic target for melanoma treatment
  • Cell-cell adhesion regulated by cJun as important driver of melanoma development
  • Analysis of melanocyte embryonal development to identify of players in melanoma
  • Influence of the tumor microenvironment (cells and proteins) on melanoma progression
  • Biomechanical influence on melanoma cellular behavior and metastasis
  • Analysis of the cellular senescence program as molecular rescue mechanisms of transformation
  • Characterization of new diagnostic options (e.g. THz)
  • Characterization of new therapeutic options (e.g. cold atmospheric plasma)
